Last month, we had the opportunity to host an intimate evening with Bryan Brock at the MogoLounge. As an entrepreneur, Creative Director and co-founder of the Remix project, a nonprofit serving at-risk youth in Toronto, OneLoveTo, a Toronto based lifestyle brand, and The Fitting Room, a unique men’s barbershop in downtown Toronto, Bryan shared how to truly invest in yourself, and turn your passion project into your full-time gig. Don’t worry if you missed it, as you can watch the video here. It was eye-opening to hear about the struggles, tips and tricks that Bryan used to get him where he is today.

If your data is stolen it could be used for identify theft. This highlights the ongoing risk we all face in this day and age. Although our personal
